Robeks Juice

I have nothing but nice words to say about this place. The staff is limited but they never make you wait no more than 5 minutes. I love anything and everything Acai! I came in once with a flu and the worker made me a lemon/​ginger with cayenne pepper and that was delicious too!

Robeks is really refreshing, especially after a long workout at the gym. I usually get a smoothie, which to me is much more flavorful than Jamba Juice’s smoothies. My smoothies are blended pretty well and taste consistent whenever I go. However, seating is limited both inside and out. I often find myself sitting outside of Starbucks (a few stores down) because there is no seating here. Also, the pricing is pretty heavy, which is why I don’t make a stop here that often. Two of their small-​sized smoothies cost me around $ 8.

I ordered a smoothie that tasted really bad the drink was poorly made. I told the guy the drink was horrible and I politely asked him if he can make me a different drink. The employee who said he was the supervisor said «what am I supposed to do with it» duh Throw it away. Starbucks or any other smoothie place would have done it. I will never go to place again for poor customer service over a 6 dollar smoothie.

This juice bar isn’t my favorite, compared to other locations. When you order a smoothie with kale in it, ask them to blend it well. I order a Super Green and the smoothie tasted very gritty. Also, the Acai bowls are never made consistently. One day, the serving size, texture and taste are fab, and the next day, it is thick, pasty and awful. On 2 occasions, the pretzel I ordered was cold in the middle! Get it together, Robeks!

I like to come here for a quick smoothie meal after a workout or when I’m wanting to keep it light. I get the south pacific squeeze. It’s flavors are pineapple, banana and strawberry. I prefer Robeks over Jamba Juice so I’m happy this one is walking distance to me! I like my smoothies lactose free so Robeks has more options for me in that department. You can add a boost to your smoothie. I usually get the energy, fat burner, or protein. They have a stamp card you can use when you buy a regular or large sized Robeks smoothie and once you buy 10 you get the next one free. Parking here can be crazy at times, but you can find parking nearby.

Horrible customer service! I requested my smoothie extra sweet with sweetener and I said I like it VERY sweet and the person at the register ignored my request. When the girl gave it to me and said a Wednesday with vitamin, I responded with what else I requested? She said nothing else. I went to the male cashier and said why wasn’t my request put in as I requested and he replied they are already made sweet. Is it too tart for you? I said Yes it is! That is why I requested how I wanted it made. He said it is already sweet. I said not to me and that is why I wanted it extra sweet. I told him I did not appreciate him ignoring my request because of his personal opinion! I seriously do not care his opinion on my beverage I’m paying for. I had to go home and blend the beverage with more sugar because the employees opinion of how I should drink my beverage. Shaking my head such horrible customer service! Even an apology would be nice but he was too busy being determined he was right! Obviously this establishment does not respect their customers wishes! I hope he doesn’t do this with someone who requests a fruit be removed without explanation of why and he decides his opinion is more valid and ignores the customers request and the request was based on a food allergy and the the customer goes in to anaphylactic shock in the middle of the establishment because this employee feels his opinion of the smoothie far outweighs the customers! From my experience here the customer is not valued nor their request in beverage options!

I got the passion fruit power and thought it was delicious! Very refreshing, tastes fresh, and even tastes better than Jamba Juice. I especially love the consistency of the drinks here.
While Robeks is yummy, it’s sure on the pricey side! G’lord, $ 7 for a regular sized smoothie? It’s not hard to find smoothies elsewhere for way cheaper.
There’s scarce seating inside, so it’s not a great place if you’re finding a place to either duck from the rain or retreat into an air-​conditioned smoothie joint on a hot day. However, there’s a couple of tables for outdoor seating! There’s also no wall outlets in the public area of the store, so this also won’t be your go-​to study spot.
Delicious drinks, but definitely not my go-​to for my wallet’s sake!

Wish this place was in San Jose. Excellent selection, service and prices.

This place is basically Jumba Juice but better! I came here on a sunny afternoon looking for something refreshing to kill the heat. I got the Hummingbird since it’s the only one item on the most popular menu without yogurt. I was trying to re-​hydrate so I felt like the the texture of the yogurt in a drink would be too thick. The sorbet in the Hummingbird was very refreshing and exactly what I needed. I usually can’t finish these kinds of drink (mainly from Jumba) because it gets too filling or sweet in the end. But this was not the case this time. I finished the whole thing and wanted for more! Definitely will come back again.

Came here today for the first time, the smoothie was pretty good but the service was pretty darn rude! The lady helping us was snarky and not very friendly at all, that’s the only downside. Don’t go for the customer service go for the juice

Perfect! Friendly, fast, yummy raw juices and smoothies. Music a touch loud.
Thanks!

It was a hot day and a fresh juice beverage sounded refreshing for lunch. The UTC mall’s «Shake Smart» sounded suspect, so Robeks was the next closest place.
I wanted something green, but with enough fruit to make it somewhat palatable. I ordered a concoction called the «Super Green» with had spinach and green tea powder. It basically tasted like green tea powder. The good news was that I didn’t have any hunger pangs for the rest of the afternoon.
Mix Ins —
— Whole Foods has better «juice» but you also have to deal with going/​parking there.
— Solid lunch rush option when all other food places are too busy.
— 2.99 Sandwich deals (Okay, no expiration date on the package, and not the best looking)
— I prefer Robeks to Jamba.

I love Robek’s since it gives me a healthier option when my sweet tooth arises. The staff at this location are very nice, but it can take a while to get your drink sometimes if there is only one person working. There are no tables inside of this location, but plenty of outdoor seating which is really nice.
My personal favorites are: ABC, Acai Especial Bowl, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie (can’t remember the exact name right now).
Also, if you want to bulk up the fiber in your juice a little bit, you can always ask them to blend the kale or whatever leafy green they use into your juice instead of juicing it.

Robek’s is your typical juice/​smoothie spot located in the Costa Verde Center, which is in the heart of UTC area. with a good variety of healthy options for drinks and bowls. This was my first time at this location since I usually go to the Rancho Bernardo location. came by during my lunchtime it wasn’t too bad with no wait ahead of me.
RECENT ORDER:
SUPER GREENS: A super blend of fresh spinach, green tea, pineapple, almond instead of soy milk, and 100% natural non-​fat frozen yogurt.
PREVIOUS REGULAR ORDERS:
TROPI-​KALE: Sweet pineapple blended with kale.
–tasty juices and smoothies!
–smoothie bowl treats :)
–other snack options: chips, nutritious bars, sandwiches, and a variety of other drinks: protein, izze, muscle milk, gatorade, vita coco etc
–nice staff
–pricey, but worth every buck ;P

I come here a lot after my workouts since it’s across the street and next to Chipotle.
My usual: Hummingbird with Whey Protein.
They’ve only made a weird drink once out of the 25+ times I’ve been. It’s usually always consistent! (get it?)
How can I not go back.

I got the acai bowl and it was decent, but smaller than I expected and hardly any bananas/​granolas.
The only thing that bothered me was the service. It was slow, and the workers were very unhelpful along with forgetful (as they completely just forgot my order until I had to remind them) it wasn’t even a busy day.
I don’t think I will be coming here again.

Robeks is definitely not my go-​to smoothie spot, but every time I come here it’s worth it! Their smoothies taste really fresh, and they have a wide variety of options. I definitely get tired of the selection at Jamba Juice, so coming to Robeks is a nice change.
Overall, your basic smoothie joint and has all the same offerings as other spots. Cashier was friendly, and patient as we took forever to decide what to order. I’ve never been to this location when there was a line, and have never had to wait long for my drink.
Loved the malibu peach smoothie, would highly recommend it!

I’ve been on a serious juicing kick of late, and I usually juice at home but when I’m traveling I splurge to get my much needed phytonutrients. After a kickbutt Rush cycle class I was ready for a pick me up!
The service was great but my kale, cucumber, celery, apple ginger juice left me feeling very dissatisfied. As soon as I had my first sip I realized that the proportions were very off and they used red apples instead Granny Smith which are the more nutritious of the twice. I don’t think I’ll be back to Robeks anytime soon.

Love the tropikale and passionfruit cove drinks! Robeks tastes fresher, healthier, and lighter than Jamba Juice to me. Robek’s is perfect for a light breakfast or for your daily fruit/​veggie intake.
Some of the specialty drinks such as tropikale start at a medium, however it’s great that if you buy a large or medium and want to share it they will split it up for you. If two people in your group want the same drink in a small, it’s cheaper to get a medium and split it into two smalls or buy a large and split it into a medium and small.
Drinks here are a little overpriced, but it doesn’t stop me from buying them. The service is usually pretty quick even though the area can get pretty busy with the local UCSD students in the area. Parking isn’t too bad either although you probably won’t get to park right in front of the store.

Robeks! Oh how I missed you! Since I’m not from the SD area, it’s always a treat when I come here. This is THE PLACE to go for the most perfectly balanced and healthy acai bowl! If you are done with a meal and are still hungry, this is the most delicious and light dessert evah! The bowl comes with acai sorbet, crunchy granola, and NOMMY banana.
The only qualm I have about this place is their comme si comme ca (that’s so-​so in French) service. My register was really snappy and impatient yet the person who served me was pretty nice and considerate.
A quiet little shop, very organic feel! Competition will be tough, especially when yogurt land opened up next door! Over the two though, I would still choose Robeks first :)
